Sebastian Sheldon nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I’ve always loved you."
"Love ? How am I supposed to believe that a woman who loves would marry my brother?"
Hunter Warren looked at her with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"I..." Sebastian Sheldon bit her lip: "I was forced, under those circumstances, I had no other choice."
"So, you were also forced when you went to the hotel to find my brother?"
Sebastian Sheldon’s expression tightened: "...Did Faye Townsend tell you? It’s a misunderstanding, all of it.
Hunter, you know I’m not that kind of person.
You also know that Faye Townsend has always misunderstood .
She never liked from the start.
Even when we were together back then, she never hid her dislike for .
Hunter, you can’t be so unfair to .
How can you just take her side because I haven’t stayed by you all these years?"
"Who really dislikes who?
You speak of Faye Townsend like this, but I’ve never heard her ntion this news.
I didn’t even know Faye Townsend was aware of these things.
Everything I told you was inford by my grandmother. If you’re not such a person, then that ans my grandmother is lying.
Do you think I would believe that my grandmother, who raised , would lie to ?"
Sebastian Sheldon looked down, a flash of panic in her eyes. At tis like this, she couldn’t say that the grandmother was lying.
She cursed inwardly; that damn old thing had clearly promised she wouldn’t speak of it.
But she spoke nonetheless.
"I did go to the hotel indeed, but I just wanted to tell Lucas Warren that I was not that kind of person."
Sebastian Sheldon was sowhat anxious, "Although we have been apart for many years, you know what kind of person I was during those years."
"Huh." Hunter Warren let out a sarcastic, cold laugh.
"Why are you laughing, Hunter? Don’t you believe ?
I really am innocent, you must believe ."
"How do you expect to believe you? A call would have sufficed; you’re so smart, did you really need to go there in person?
Sebastian Sheldon, we’re not fools, shall we just lay it all out and speak frankly?"
Sebastian Sheldon also hesitated upon seeing Hunter Warren’s unusual gaze.
Hunter Warren raised his eyebrows, his tone tinged with regret: "Do you intend to let this misunderstanding continue until the day we die?
Don’t you feel terrible facing this way?
If you don’t feel bad, I’ll tell you, I do.
Tell , why did you really go see my brother that year?
Why did you deceive , saying you liked , yet you went to the hotel to find my brother?
Don’t tell you just wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him at night.
If you’re willing to open up to , I will certainly do the sa."
Sebastian Sheldon bit her lip, hesitating.
Hunter Warren shook his head: "Forget it, you can go. I know that from the beginning, you never intended to be honest with ."
Sebastian Sheldon sniffled, tears in her eyes: "Back then... I was a bit afraid.
My grandmother wanted to leave you; I couldn’t bear it.
You know, I truly loved you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have wanted to stay by your side against all odds.
But my grandmother and Faye Townsend threatened , saying if I didn’t leave you, they wouldn’t let live a good life.
At that ti, our life together was very poor, a life I’ve always been accustod to; I could endure that kind of life, but you, Hunter Warren, could not.
You are a scion of a lofty family; how could you suffer because of ?
I didn’t like how you looked sowhat shabby back then.
I like it when you are in a commanding position, leading everything.
Besides, you might not have felt it, but there was clearly no happiness in your eyes then.
I don’t like it when I bring you down from the clouds.
So when I saw Lucas Warren inviting , I was tempted.
I thought, even if he could give us a million, at least you wouldn’t have to live so miserably.
You said you could make a coback.
But without capital, how could you make a coback?
I just wanted to help you."
Hunter Warren scoffed: "So, you sold yourself for a million?
You say it’s for , but you know very well what it’s really for."
Sebastian Sheldon stood up, walked over to Hunter Warren, and reached out to grab his wrist. Hunter Warren felt a surge of disgust but suppressed it well.
"Hunter, don’t be like this; didn’t you want to be honest with you?
What I am saying now is all true.
Lucas Warren didn’t say how much money he would give , I just... I really only wanted to negotiate."
